The three most common causes of this sort of issue are overheating, hard drive problems, and problems with the memory. First, you should begin by ensuring that your notebook is clear of dust and debris. I would also suggest running the built in diagnostics for the hard drive and memory. If you’re unsure how to perform these diagnostics you can find instructions https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c0… Once you can rule out these hardware causes it will be much easier to determine the cause of the problem.

Sounds like the CPU is overheating, the motherboard auto-shuts off. Likely an exhaust fan is not running. It may be caked with dust or debris or simply worn out. It will likely be underneath the laptop. You might be able to remove the bottom cover and verify if it’s running, choked or bereft of life.
